And this episode was an
emotional roller coaster.
00:02
We've been looking at it
all season in the teases.
00:07
And it finally happened.
00:10
We got the fence jump.
00:12
It finally happened.
00:13
And so we obviously have
a lot to talk about,
00:14
mainly all about that.
00:15
And so let's bring
in the man who
00:17
can jump a much smaller
fence, Corey Palent!
00:18
Well, I thought about leaping
over the fence as my entrance
00:24
today, and then realized that
I'm not nearly as athletic
00:26
as Colton, so I skipped it.
00:28
The roll-in's much
more my speed.
00:30
You guys, I want to say
from the very beginning,
00:31
I was not disappointed.
00:34
First of all, this was the most
nuts episode of the season,
00:36
and maybe one of the craziest--
00:39
In "Bachelor" history?
00:41
Well, because so much
happened in this episode
00:42
that you've never seen happen.
00:44
It was very
unconventional "Bachelor."
00:45
You've never seen--
00:47
It started conventional.
00:48
OK, so anyway, so they're
in beautiful Portugal--
00:50
they're in Algarve, Portugal--
00:53
they said it, like, 15 times.
00:55
I tried to say it at
home, and it just--
00:57
Algarve tourism must have
just paid a lot of money
00:58
So the first date
goes to Tayshia.
01:02
And they go on this
helicopter ride.
01:05
Beautiful coastline.
01:10
They go to a lighthouse.
01:11
Beautiful lighthouse.
01:11
Did anyone else notice that
when they have a picnic,
01:12
that he rolls out the
blanket for them to sit on
01:15
and it is the
rockiest area ever?
01:17
And they go to dinner.
01:19
She brings up her
ex-husband, and we find out
01:20
that he cheated on her.
01:22
If you're the
ex-husband right now--
01:23
You probably were hoping
that that didn't come out.
01:26
But anyway, so they
have this talk.
01:28
And then, really, we
just get right to it.
01:30
They get the key to
the fantasy suite.
01:31
So then they wake up,
and they're in bed,
01:32
and he's got kind
of the messy hair.
01:34
And so then you're
wondering, is he, isn't he?
01:36
But then Colton really gets
that confusion out of the way
01:39
by saying, we didn't do it.
01:42
And then Tayshia also says it
wasn't exactly what she was--
01:43
Yeah, it wasn't what she
was expecting-- or hoping?
01:46
Expecting, hoping for.
01:48
We all saw it
coming, then, right?
01:49
Should we all just
take a deep breath?
01:51
Because I just feel like
there's a lot to talk about.
01:52
This is the Cassie date.
01:58
So they go on this date
where they kind of go explore
02:00
Portugal, and they go and they
drive, and they go to the cafe,
02:02
and they're dancing, and
they're doing all this stuff.
02:05
So then they get to
this cliff overlooking
02:07
another beautiful water--
02:09
Insert Portugal shot here.
02:12
And they open this
wine, and he's like--
02:13
and you could tell that--
02:15
I feel like him saying this,
he did not realize the beast
02:16
that it was about to unleash.
02:19
As soon as he said
it, that was amazing.
02:21
He was all in, and he thought
she would be too, right?
02:24
So he said, I didn't get
your dad's permission.
02:26
That throws Cassie for a loop.
02:28
Well, I understand
that indecisiveness
02:30
after only dating someone
for about five seconds.
02:33
Two things stacked against her.
02:39
That's a real reaction.
02:40
Yeah, so anyway, she freaks out.
02:41
We never usually see
this moment where
02:42
they go back to their
respective hotels or whatever.
02:44
On their break where they--
02:47
To get ready for the next date.
02:47
Usually, it's like they go
from driving around to dinner.
02:49
And suddenly, dad
has flown all the way
02:51
from Huntington
Beach, California.
02:53
So he comes in, and she's
surprised to see him,
02:56
but then also, kind of not.
03:00
Yeah, so, and then
they sit on the couch,
03:02
and they have this conversation.
03:04
She's like, I'm worried, because
you knew with mom right away.
03:06
And he's like, yeah, well,
this is a really big decision.
03:09
That's when you
knew it was over.
03:12
So then Cassie has this
moment with her producer
03:13
where she basically says, I am
going to go and I'm leaving.
03:15
I'm going to go tell
Colton I am leaving.
03:19
OK, so then dinner comes,
and he can tell right away--
03:21
--that something's going on.
03:25
And it's the thing he's--
03:27
Well, because the
whole time, she just
03:28
looked like she was in
a full flop sweat of--
03:28
And this is the thing he's
been saying and teasing
03:31
to the entire time.
03:33
My biggest fear is that--
03:35
Is that someone's not ready.
03:37
OK-- or no, that somebody
won't feel the same way
03:39
that I felt for someone.
03:40
You guys, what was
so sad is that Colton
03:41
realized what was happening.
03:43
Yeah, so he basically says, OK--
03:46
Nothing else matters.
03:48
Because Cassie kept
saying, I'm not
03:49
going to be ready in two
weeks for a proposal.
03:51
She's like, I'm not there yet.
03:52
I'm not where you are.
03:54
But Colton says, forget about
the show, forget about--
03:55
--how this is supposed to go.
03:58
I am OK if, in two
weeks, we're just dating.
03:59
Which, by the way, was
a shocking response
04:02
to me, because prior
to that, he was
04:05
ready to be engaged
and start a family.
04:06
But she basically just
said I don't think I'll--
04:08
I don't know if I'll
ever get there with you.
04:09
Which he was just like--
04:11
Which that is an
awful thing to hear.
04:12
I mean, that is-- no, that's
the worst thing to hear.
04:14
That's the worst thing.
04:16
No, no, you're cute
and I like you--
04:17
--off-camera, that's a
terrible thing to hear.
04:18
Well, here's the thing--
04:21
Oh, my heart just broke for him.
04:22
So then Cassie says,
no, I'm leaving.
04:23
She gets in the car,
cries, whatever.
04:27
He goes back up to his room.
04:29
Where he thought everything
was going to happen.
04:31
We don't see what happens
in there, but he says--
04:33
Garbly garble, muffle muffle.
04:34
No, but then he says
something like, I'm done,
04:35
I'm done with this.
04:37
I can see why he would be
done with it, after all that.
04:40
Goes down the stairs,
bumps the camera.
04:42
I don't know that he
slammed the camera.
04:44
I think it was between
a bump and a hit.
04:46
I mean, he was a
football player,
04:48
so I think it was
a little, like--
04:49
So then Colton's
like, gotta get out of
04:50
here, but he can't,
because there's
04:52
this huge fence in the way.
04:53
But doesn't matter for Superman.
04:55
I still-- well, that
goes to show, one,
04:57
his athletic ability,
but also how tall he is.
04:59
He's, like, nine feet tall.
05:01
Everything about this--
05:02
I'm for the guy that's
like, can you open the gate?
05:02
Everything was superhuman.
05:04
That's what Chris Harrison did.
05:05
Can you imagine if
there was a moment where
05:06
he was like, [GRUNTS].
05:07
You guys, I will say,
"The Bachelor"-- no, yeah.
05:08
Half of me expected it.
05:12
It was smoothest,
most amazing thing.
05:12
Meanwhile, where does
Colton think he's going?
05:14
He just wanted to get away.
05:16
Yeah, but I love
that he's just--
05:16
He's disappearing into Portugal
for the rest of his life.
05:19
And it's dark, and they're
all like, Colton, come back.
05:21
Meanwhile, he's probably
10 feet ahead of them.
05:23
We're going to see next week.
05:25
Just outside of the light.
05:26
He's just filing
his nails somewhere.
05:27
Well, no, they
eventually find him.
05:27
His producer finds him,
who I think it was Caitlyn.
05:29
The point is, doesn't
matter, finds him,
05:31
and they're walking, and he--
05:32
I don't even remember
what he says.
05:33
It was just so dramatic,
and that's when we get our--
05:34
Just a lot more of the, I'm
done, I'm done, I'm over it.
05:36
The most dramatic To Be
Continued of all time.
05:38
Yes, it was a really
good To Be Continued.
05:40
My heart is pounding right now.
05:41
Now would be the time in
the normal cube of events--
05:44
--where we would
cross Cassie off.
05:48
I don't think we can.
05:50
However, we have pre-decided
kind of as a group--
05:51
There's something
else coming her.
05:53
What do we think the ending is?
05:53
I don't know what the ending is.
05:54
I think she still wins.
05:57
But early in the season, they
teased him out with a box.
05:58
Now, you said early on,
there's no ring in that box,
06:00
but what's going on there?
06:03
A promise to Cassie.
06:06
I just came up
with a prediction.
06:07
No, this is what I've
been looking for.
06:09
Actually, based on
you saying that.
06:10
Well, so we see a
little bit in the tease
06:12
that he goes to a door,
which, again, gave me
06:13
like Ari Becca Kufrin vibes.
06:15
Knocking on that holding house.
06:18
And I think Cassie's there.
06:20
I think he goes to try
to reconnect with her.
06:21
Maybe she's had some time
to think about what happened
06:23
and separate herself
from her family.
06:25
I think he says,
please just date me.
06:27
I think she gives in,
and I think she says,
06:30
OK, I will date you.
06:32
And then maybe--
I either to think
06:33
two things about that shot.
06:35
One, that was a shot that they
took at the very beginning
06:37
of the season as just a--
06:39
--promo in the cliffs of LA
where we never actually see it.
06:41
Or they go to the finale
spot, he has the ring,
06:45
he opens it, and says, I'm not
proposing right now, because I
06:50
just want to date you.
06:53
Yeah, well, I think
it's almost a joke.
06:54
I think he shows
up and he's like--
06:57
They're both in on it?
06:57
They're both in on it.
06:59
And then he's like, don't
worry, let's just date,
07:00
get to know each other, yay.
07:02
And then that's it.
07:04
And "After the Final Rose."
07:05
I literally
specifically asked him--
07:06
and multiple people have--
07:07
--how do you feel
about the outcome.
07:09
And he's like, I am
happy with the outcome.
07:11
Everyone [INAUDIBLE]
says he's happy.
07:12
If this is not-- after
seeing what has happened,
07:13
there is no way that he would
be happy with any other outcome
07:15
besides Cassie coming
around in some way.
07:18
Ellen asked if he was engaged,
and he said, I'm happy.
07:20
You guys, this has been
a fantastic season.
07:24
This is a good one.
07:27
It has, and it's not done yet.
07:28
Like I said, I
really think Colton
07:29
could be my favorite Bachelor.
07:30
And he's good-looking.
07:32
A big thanks to
y'all for watching.
07:35
And tune in Wednesday, because
Miss North Carolina herself,
07:36
Caelynn, is going to
join us in the cube.
07:39
And comment below to
tell us what you think.
07:41
I'm going to take this.
07:43
I don't know what
that voice was.
07:44
My heart is still pounding.
07:47
My heart's pounding for you.
07:48
